King Kong, Hostel & Syriana: Movies Students will Illegally Download today
I saw an ad during a movie last week saying “you wouldn’t steal a car why would you steal a movie”.
This question made me wonder why students who aren’t stealing cars are downloading movies in college. Luckily, I have college student Melody to answer that question.

All college kids have to do is call the radio. Whats the difference between downloading a song and taping something off the air waves? Making a mix-tape for your girlfriend? Sure tapes are lousy sound, but so is the mp3 you downloaded off of napster encoded by some 12 yr old. One thing for sure is don’t expect kids to pay you money when they don’t have it; and don’t target the music to them if you expect them to pay you. File sharing completely destroyed the music industries business model and sometime soon the movie industry. So come up with a good solution to both the industry and the customers that won’t fight technology. If you can’t beat them, join them, right?

I disagree with quality, as not all movies you download are great but most music from the net is pretty sweet. What I want to know is the amount of music purchased, concerts attended & t-shirts bought after downloading illegal music…Also I think iTunes shows the potential success of online media distribution. Think of all the success on college campuses from downloading movies/clips. Dave Chappelle & Family Guy DEFINITEly got their success from all the clips shared across schools.

Everytimes I see the “you wouldn’t steal a car why would you steal a movieâ€? ad, I quinch. The ad (assuming we talking about the same one) gives examples of people stealing physical items: a car, a dvd movie from a store, a purse, etc. However, downloading movies from the Internet is not physical theft, it’s intellectual property theft. Thus their logic is flawed. Granted, IP theft is also illegal, but there are still many things the court has to rule on regarding IP rights and to make it seem so black and white is simply wrong.
